I want to write a poem to you
expose my soul and heart.
Starting at the ending
returning to the start.
Raw and fleshy no holding back
saying what I feel.
A gritty gray photograph
tangible and real.
The poetry stays unwritten
words remain unsaid.
Laughter all I manage
all that remains ahead.
Around the corner nothing more
so I never go around
though the words are there inside
you never hear the sound.
I could fill a thousand pages
set the world on fire.
Speaking not so much of love
but of deep desire.
As you turned the pages
that's when you would learn
Flames igniting as you read
making fingers burn.
I want to write a poem to you
saying what I feel.
A gritty gray photograph of words
tangible and real.










you're so cute there.
